culture buzz

Whew, is it hot in here, or is it just my post about children’s books and global warming? That little ol’ blog entry earned the #1 spot on BuzzFeed’s* Culture Buzz page today! 

Aha moment: I had no idea that BuzzFeed even existed until someone sent me an email to tell me about my fleeting encounter with “popularity.” Lesson learned: LJ’s a great writer’s community, but our blogs also offer us outreach beyond our imagination. Isn’t that cool?

Here’s the link, for as long as it lasts. To your right, you’ll see the gross picture creative graphic that accompanied the entry on BuzzFeed’s Top Ten list. Thanks, lilrongal , for adding the screenshot as a comment (below). 
*From Buzzfeed’s website: “We use technology and human editors to find the hottest buzz on the web. Each weekday, we publish ten stories that highlight the best stuff emerging from the Internet popularity contest.”
